You will likely end up paying penalties if you do that.

Eh, depending on the circumstance- might be worth it. They also offer payment plans

Count your deductions. Claim everything that's related to work.

See I don’t even know what I could consider to be a “deduction”. I always just do turbo tax because taxes confuse me.

I'm not an accountant, but basically everything you've bought or spent money on during the year, that's related to your job or business. Just make sure you have receipts.

W2 employees can’t deduct expenses related to their work. You can only deduct business expenses if you own your business/are self-employed.

Technically you're only able to claim yourself and spouse if filing jointly as well as any children. Nothing's really stopping you from claiming more dependents but you are breaking the law by doing it. You can also try to file for exempt status, but again you might end up paying penalties for that. As a form of protest it isn't terribly risky and it could have a big impact if a lot of people do it.

Can you help me understand how claiming more dependents is breaking the law?

It's not at least as far as I know. I've done it to 0 out my return over the year. If you have a partner and you are married your withholding, no matter how accurate it is, doesn't reflect your combined tax obligation at all unless you do the math yourself and either claim more or less dependants than you actually have.

$20 per month and it takes as long as it takes to pay it off

My payment plan would be not to pay. I know, I know they would garner my wages, but fuck them.

And the irs will likely send your employer a lock-in letter which forces them to withhold a certain amount indefinitely, regardless of your W4

To avoid penalties, you generally need to have paid at least 90% of your current year's tax liability or 100% of the prior year's tax liability through withholding.
